Somehow Seth Meyers Found Evidence That Donald Trump Might Not Be a Total Idiot

Seth Meyers mensch'd it up last night and devoted a full seven-minute segment to the Planned Parenthood congressional hearing. In case you haven't heard, the hearing was a real shitshow, as the president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was hardly allowed to get full sentences out as she was asked to answer for doctored footage, incomplete graphs, and unfounded statistics.

Seth Meyers managed to wisely but cleverly focus in on all this last night—all the way to its very surprising ending. "Isn't there at least one Republican, even one, that's against abortions, who can concede that Planned Parenthood serves a purpose?" Meyers asked.

"Let's say there's two Planned Parenthoods in a way. You have it as an abortion clinic. Now that's actually a fairly small part of what they do, but it's a brutal part, and I'm totally against it and I wouldn't do that. They also, however, service women. We have to help women. A lot of women are helped. So we have to look at the positives also."

Trump is still, of course, a national embarrassment on just about every other level. Just because a poisonous snake also eats disease-ridden rodents doesn't mean you want that snake in your backyard, or, you know, telling you what to do with your body. But Trump's right about something! And something important! Let's savor this moment.
